Chapter 43: A Journey into the Misty Forest
After a simple lunch, Louie, his Praetorian Guard, and Mark, who was his guide, headed out for the mysterious forest full of mysteries. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, the fog in the forest has long disappeared, and the sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, and the woods appear bright and devoid of haze and mystery. Even so, Mark, who was walking in front, was still trembling, and Louie, who was beside him, was always alert to the situation around him.
The journey was uneventful, and soon they reached the vicinity of the place where Mark and the villagers found the body. Marco stopped suddenly, he lowered his head, raised his right hand, pointed his index finger forward, and said, "It's there, please, don't let me pass, I don't want to see that scene a second time!"
Mark's mood, Louis still understands. He sent a man to stay behind to protect him, and the rest of the officers and soldiers continued with him. Although it was only about a hundred meters away, the entire team, except for Louie, everyone's footsteps became heavy, and Mark's words still affected their mood somewhat.
Louis was in the opposite mood, he longed to see the scene, to see the corpses as they were. This can somewhat confirm some of his ideas. The forest at this time was quiet and harmonious, and for the other officers and soldiers, this calm was a good treatment for their increasing tension as the distance shortened, but for Louis, it was not a good thing. He couldn't hear the deafening cries of what Mark called "little urchins".
Finally, they came to the location that Mark had spoken. Perhaps the gap was too great from what they had imagined, and the soldiers couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, but it was Louie who was most disappointed. There is nothing here except the usual forest scene, not to mention the "little urchin", not a single hair on his body, let alone a corpse!
"Bring Mark here!" shouted Louie.
Because of the short distance, it didn't take long for Mark to be carried by a soldier.
"Is this what you're talking about?" asked Louie. (Advertisement)
Mark looked up and looked at it, his expression changing from horror to surprise: "Where are they?" he asked Louie, "where are the corpses and the 'little urchins'?"
"I was about to ask you!" Louis scolded, "Are you lying?"
Hearing this, Mark hurriedly knelt down, "I swear, what I said is true," and then, eagerly, he looked around eagerly, "This is it, there were reads at that time." ”
Louis didn't really disbelieve Mark's words, judging by his behavior, there should be no falsehood, and besides, it didn't do him the slightest benefit to tell such a lie. Unlike Mark, who was in a state of panic, Louis vaguely felt that this incident was related to the mysterious disappearance of the girl reported from various places, and after Louis thought about it, he still asked: "Are there any characteristics?"
"Oh?" said Mark, hesitating, "what?"
"If you're telling the truth, are there any characteristics of those corpses you've seen?" Louie said, staring into Mark's eyes
"It's not very special. Mark replied without even thinking about it.
Obviously, Louis was not satisfied with this answer, and he further asked, "How about describing it?"
There is no record of what the corpse looked like in the dossier, and it is not known whether Mark did not mention it at all in the initial narrative, or whether it was ignored because he said something worthless, either way, and now this information is extremely important to Louis. He judged that if Mark and the villagers had not lied, then the "little urchins" would have eaten the corpses in the time they had fled the forest until now, so now they could only learn about the corpses from Mark and the others.
Mark lowered his head and thought about it, muttering, "It's all the same, it's smooth, what characteristics can it have?"
Louis flashed in his head: "You mean those corpses are unclothed?"
"Yes!" said Mark.
Louis grabbed Mark's arm: "If you think about it, what else? Like, their gender?"
Hearing this, Mark clapped his hands, "If you don't say it, I haven't noticed it yet, it's a woman!" he said as he nodded excitedly, "At least most of it." I didn't see it clearly, but everything I saw was a woman!"
Louie's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"
"That's right," Marco said excitedly, "long hair, and ......****...... It's obvious!"
Louie's eyes narrowed into a slit, if these corpses were the missing girls from all over Egrim, there were too many of them, or there were still many missing people who had not been reported? Just as Louis was thinking, Mark clapped his hands again: "I remember! I felt that something was wrong at the time, but now I know!"
"What?"
"There's no blood!" Mark shook his fingers, "There is no blood, not even the smell of blood, whether it is eaten or eaten!"
Louis let out a long sigh, and if so, it was connected to those strange murders. Thinking of this, he waved his hand: "Search! Don't let go of every inch of land, turn this place upside down!"
With Louis's order, the seven or eight officers and soldiers who followed him began to move, removing every bush and every stone, and carefully inspecting it. After a while, an officer and soldier came to report: "Captain, we found the skull. ”
The skull was under a large semi-suspended stone, only about fifty centimeters from the ground. It is covered with dirt and weeds, which are difficult to spot without looking carefully. Peeling aside the soil and weeds, it can be seen that there are many traces of gnawing on the bone surface, and it can be judged from the size of the skull that she should be a woman, but the skin and flesh are eaten too cleanly, and this is only known at present.
Louis ordered the skull to be put away and taken back to study. At the moment when the soldier lifted his skull, a flash of golden light, although very small, did not escape Louis's eyes. He stepped forward, bent down, and searched carefully where the skull had just been found, and soon he found a golden necklace, very small and short.
He held the necklace up, changing angles and observing the pattern on it. Suddenly, he noticed that there was a line of text on it, and after reading it, his face suddenly turned pale, and his brain was "buzzing", if the owner of this chain and the owner of this skull were the same person, then something would have happened!
In the mansion behind Kings Street, Alex Sandra, who was also the captain of the Praetorian Guard, paced anxiously to and fro. Since he captured the wolf members last night, he should have enjoyed the fruits of his victory, but things always happened.
First, the masked man came to inform the "wolf spirit" that he was not dead and was rescued by an unknown person, and then the coercion and temptation of the richest man Mo An, Alex knew that it was no good to refuse him, but he was helpless. "Wolf Spirit" was not caught, and this magician couldn't let it go, so he had to pry her mouth open and get the news of "Wolf Spirit".
With this in mind, Alex ordered Lucia to be sent to Iconatney Prison, where it was convenient to torture or extract confessions. It's just that Alex didn't expect to receive his order, and the content of the order was to execute all the captured prisoners, although he was unwilling to do so, but his order could not be disobeyed, and the helpless captain of the Praetorian Guard could only send someone to carry it out. But his displeasure is far from over.
The next morning, the masked man visited again.
"What?" Alex stood up from his seat in shock, "you mean they've all been rescued?"
"That's right. "Through the mask, the person on the opposite side made a dull sound.
"Who is who? who is so bold?" Alex sat back in his chair, leaned forward, and slammed his fist on the table.
"The people you sent and the soldiers in the prison thought it was the 'wolf spirit' who did it. "The mask is humane.
"It's all your fault!" Alex burst into flames, "Didn't you say you would kill him?" and now not only let him escape, but also let him save those people!"
Facing the angry Alex, the mask did not speak, and only after he calmed down did he speak: "'Wolf Spirit' is indeed an accident, I already have the chance to win, but I didn't expect ......"
"Don't explain this to me, failure is failure. Alex said.
"I'll admit it, but ......," the masked man glanced at Alex, "he wasn't the one who rescued the prisoners! I was there at the time, and those people were controlled by magic, and this level of magic is not something that ordinary people can use." I know the 'wolf', he doesn't have the ability. ”
"Since it's not him," Alex fell completely silent after listening to the masked man's words, "who could that be?"
"I guess...... "The Masked Man looked up, "it's Moan's man." Didn't he want to save the sorceress?"
"Are you sure?" said Alex.
The masked man shook his head, "However, if my guess is correct, that sorceress should be in Crescent Manor by now!" he leaned in Alex's direction, "If you go to search, you will definitely gain a lot!"
As soon as he heard the word "Moan", Alex's mind "boomed". Now, the Masked Man has asked him to trouble Crescent Manor, and Alex can't wait to tie up this faceless guy and burn him to death! Not to mention whether the female magician is really there, the enchantment in Crescent Manor alone can't be broken, let alone hard. If you don't do it, you will lose your life!
